Fly At Night
Chilliwack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Four men in a rock 'n roll band
Fly at night in the morning we land
Fly at night 'til we're satisfied
See the morning from the other side

And when you close your eyes
Sleep comes fast
When you fly the universe

Well, you need some rest
Yeah, you need some rest

Ooh, we like the big wide spaces
Yeah, we like a sea of faces
Time is just a rubber band
Time is at our command

And when we look out
And see you there
You seem much closer
And you feel so near
Yeah, you feel so near

Well we fly by night, it's like a rocket flight
And baby that's just what it's for
Yeah, we fly by night, it makes you feel alright
It keeps you coming back for more

Well we fly by night, it's like a rocket flight
And baby that's just what it's for
We fly by night, it makes you feel alright
It keeps you coming back for more

Four men in a rock 'n roll band
Fly at night in the morning we land

Fly at night 'til we're satisfied
See the morning from the other side

Four men in a rock 'n roll band
There are four band members who play rock 'n roll music


Fly at night in the morning we land
They travel by air during night time and reach their destination by morning


Fly at night 'til we're satisfied
They fly at night until they feel content with their journey


See the morning from the other side
They witness the sunrise from a different perspective after travelling by night


And when you close your eyes
When asleep or resting


Sleep comes fast
Sleep is easy to attain when you're tired and relax your body


When you fly the universe
When you're travelling across space


Well, you need some rest
Even in the vastness of space, rest is necessary


Yeah, you need some rest
Repeating the need for rest

They enjoy having a large crowd in front of them


Time is just a rubber band
Time can be stretched and manipulated like a rubber band


Time is at our command
They have control over their time and schedule


And when we look out
When they look towards the crowd or outside the aircraft


And see you there
When they see the audience or people around them


You seem much closer
The distance between them and the audience seems shorter


And you feel so near
They feel a personal connection with the people around them

Travelling by night feels exhilarating and exciting


And baby that's just what it's for
That's the purpose of this type of travel

Repeating the main chorus


Fly at night 'til we're satisfied
Repeating the main chorus


See the morning from the other side
Repeating the main chorus
